this is the same. the lady left her car running with the keys inside to go inside a store. I don't need her to tell me that's a bad idea and that's why I have never done it.

on a side note, what she did was not only stupid but really bad. she left her car on a lane of a major road in DC where there is no parking/stopping at any time. it is also the bus lane. so many times I was driving down in traffic and suddenly cars or the bus on the right lane need to merge into the next lane because some idiot left the car parked or stopped for a coffee or something. people used to do that also at the Starbuck up the street at CT and Livingston. just park your stupid car in a regular parking place and don't be an a$$hole

Privilege is not recognizing your privilege and lecturing others.

When an AU student gets murdered for wearing a Helly Hansen jacket on a metro platform, do we yell at them for deserving it? How about if a young man is killed for pumping gas late at night a block away? Did he deserve it? Do we really still live in the era of she dressed like she was asking for it?

Come on DC. We are smarter than this...aren't we?

If they’d jimmied the door and hot wired the car, it’s not on her. But that’s not what happened. This is completely on her. Apparently “we” aren’t smarter than this...are we?

Wrong. I prefer to live in a society where the expectation is people will not behave in criminal ways, period. Should we all bring in our lawn ornaments at night because we are asking for them to be stolen? Do we deserve to be home invaded /have children kidnapped for a half open window in the summer? Blame the victim is so DC, ugh. I would be happy though if the police left running cars all around town as a sting operation to catch these car theft criminals.

I live in Adams Morgan. If I leave anything on my front porch, it gets stolen. Does that mean that I do not have the right to leave things on my front porch?

I have given up buying nice porch furniture. Our bikes in the summer are all chained together and then to the porch, because the one night we don't lock them up, they will all be stolen.

However, I do not for a minute buy the argument that this theft is my fault. Do I know better now, yes. But is it my fault?

No, it's not.

Basically by DCUM logic, if you live in DC you deserve to get your s' stolen.

It would interfere with her official duties as a member of the council. What if there was an emergency board meeting?

BOLO has been a thing for a very long time. This is cop lingo, not a new TikTok trend.

As of Friday, the city had recorded 3,137 auto thefts this year, many of them jump-ins, a 49 percent increase over the same period in 2019. What’s more disturbing is the 141 percent rise in carjackings (a separate category from auto thefts), with 328 through mid-December, up from 136 in the same span last year.

Every police precinct, encompassing rich and poor neighborhoods alike, has experienced an increase in carjackings, notably the high-crime Seventh District in far Southeast Washington, where this year’s 84 carjackings represent a 250 percent spike. In the Second District, covering affluent parts of Northwest Washington, the total has inched from eight to nine.

DC is out of control, because this is what happens when you basically legalize crime by being soft on punishment and enforcement for social justice. DC reaping what it has sown.

Get a car with remote start. This isn’t brain surgery.

Best $300 I've ever spent. Warm car that's still there when I come outside.

The City Council, specifically the far left members, are reaping what they've sown. They go by the name of Charles Allen, Charles Allen, Charles Allen. Even the Mayor is aghast, and the new police chief is basically her rebuke.

An idiot who gets her car stolen because she left it running and unlock is not a city out of control.

Stop with the rape analogy, it doesn't have anything to do with her actions. You are the one out of touch.
